Course Objectives

In this course you will learn how to:

  • Describe the business value of WAN optimization and application acceleration technologies
  • Explain how Cisco WAAS and the WAE integrate into an existing network infrastructure
  • Explain how to initially configure the Cisco WAE, device mode, and network interception options
  • Explain how Cisco WAAS Central Manager is used to centrally configure, manage, and monitor a topology of WAE devices
  • Explain how Cisco WAAS Transport Flow Optimizations (TFO) improve TCP behavior for applications existing in Wide Area Network (WAN) environments
  • Explain how Cisco WAAS advanced compression minimizes unnecessary bandwidth consumption and helps improve application performance over the WAN
  • Explain how Cisco WAAS Application Traffic Policies are used to define system behavior when encountering specific applications
  • Explain why application-specific optimizations are required for file services protocols, and how Cisco WAAS improves performance for CIFS and NFS
  • Discuss WAAS print services capabilities, why they are necessary, and how they work
  • Explain how to monitor and troubleshoot Cisco WAAS
